WWE Friday Night SmackDown Results - January 31, 2025

Thanks to RAJAH.com for the live coverage and results.

On SmackDown tonight, Jimmy Uso battles Carmelo Hayes, Motor City Machine Guns and Los Garza team up to take on Pretty Deadly and DIY, Naomi and Liv Morgan face off, Chelsea Green defends her United States Championship against Michin and more!

We kick off the final SmackDown before Royal Rumble with clips of Bianca Belair & Naomi, Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan, Chelsea Green & Piper Niven, B-Fab & Michin and Damian Priest arriving at the arena at different times of the day.

Michael Cole welcomes us to SmackDown and introduces Pat McAfee as his co-host for today since he's got history in Indianapolis. McAfee talks about retiring and living his dream in the WWE and tells Indianapolis that he's brought Royal Rumble to their city.

We go to the ring and Joe Tessitore talks to the crowd and talks about last week with Kevin Owens calling him out so he would like to give Kevin Owens the platform he wants to discuss his thoughts. Owens makes his way out to the ring. Tessitore tells Owens this is his opportunity to be heard and asks him what he feels is being misunderstood. Owens asks Tessitore if this how he is making amends because last week all Tessitore cared about was Cody Rhodes and he calls out the disrespect and says he gets disrespected but almost everyone does. He says he will win the title tomorrow night at the Royal Rumble. Owens asks Tessitore if he thinks he's a tough guy and tells Tessitore he doesn't accept his apology for one sided journalism. Owens takes his belt and starts to leave. CM Punk's music hits and he makes his way out to the ring. Punk and Owens stand and just stare at each other for a good while until Owens asks Punk what he wants. Punk says he's here to offer an apology - well two apologies. He apologizes for interrupting Owens and his second apology is if Owens thinks Punk was looking past him, but tomorrow when Punk wins the Rumble he will take the title off of Rhodes or Owens. He says the main event at Wrestlemania could very well be Punk -vs- Owens and if Owens beats Rhodes his title reign won't be very long. Owens says the thought of them main eventing Wrestlemania, Owens beating Punk at Wrestlemania is a great thought. Owens tells Punk he knows that it's been a dream of Punk's to main event Wrestlemania - but the idea of Punk not getting to headline Wrestlemania feels good to him because Owens is a multiple time Wrestlemania main eventer. He tells Punk he hopes Punk doesn't win the Rumble and goes to leave. Punk stops him and says they're just getting started here... Punk says he hasn't lost five title matches at the Rumble, he's never lost to Logan Paul, or manipulated his friends like Owens has. Punks tells Owens he takes shortcuts to get to where he wants and only two things need to happen for them to face off at Mania. Punk has to win the Rumble and Owens has to defeat Rhodes. Punk tells Owens to come back in the ring so he can beat him up. Owens pretends to get in the ring but instead leaves.

The Miz talks with Nick Aldis backstage and complains about how he is having trouble finding friends on SmackDown and talks bout Andrade walking away from him. He says he would beat up Andrade if he was here right now and Andrade is standing behind him. A match between the two has been set for tonight.
